Setting Unique Feed Speeds for Link Moves

patrickQNG92 — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 15:03:22 GMT

Wondering if it is possible to set a feed rate specifically for the link moves of a toolpath (surface finishing) separately. I've searched high and low through the leads and links menu to no avail. Is this not possible? If not, can anyone suggest a work-around? I know that you can set the feed rate for a boundary-limited portion of a toolpath, but hoping to avoid this particular method.

This can be set up in your post processer. The logic is escaping me right now, but it is possible.

Send your post to your local reseller to help you build it.

I also wanted this option, I sent my post in a while back and never really got this ironed out. If someone does I would like to hear a solution as well.

Randy Twiddy, but he was in the middle of a bunch of work over there at the time. I did not follow thru too much.

Randy is super busy now with his new position.

Your reseller should be helping you with this. That being said, if you want to revisit this, send me a message.

I might open up a case in the future to get this figured out. I have been preoccupied lately.
